The move is aimed at preventing individuals from going overboard on considerably riskier equity investments, the report said, adding that Sebi has already informed stockbrokers about the proposal.

Sebi wants investors’ assets certified by chartered accountants and brokers, who in turn will make the decision regarding their exposure limit, the daily said. The policy is new to India but it is already in place in many markets across the globe.

If implemented, the policy can seriously affect a large share of equity investors, the report added.
